Homesteading

Matthew 12:33📖
"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.🌱🐝

Wayback 2015 I started to invest in homesteading business and plated Red Cardinal Grapes on the backyard.

Location : Backyard, Bataan province

Climate : tropically cold (september)

I started to buy 100 pieces roots to start, I only search what to do on the internet but have no total proper knowledge how to grow grapes especially on a tropical weather.

So here it goes...

Thank You Lord! 😘
100 GrapeCuttings🍇🍇🍇

Tha time that is the only thing I can say..

I haven't capture all of them cause 80% was rotten and died (lugi na ako, kaya instead na business naging personal nalang)

But still praying to grow even 1 piece of it so that next time I know what to do.

You need to keep the surroundings wet for them to grow old... with you (charot)

Need to keep surrounding wet to keep them alive.

Patience is a virtue.. so wait.

John 15:5 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. ... No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.❤💜💛

After taking risk on this, I feel fulfilled even no profit came but the happiness when you see it growing, it's like a child of yours..

But after the harvest it also didnt able to survive so I opted not invest again for the meantime.

It takes lot of patience,knowledge and hardwork for them to pruit.

Thanks for reading and viewing..

Harvesting should be done when the plant is at least 2-3 years old. In general, the grapes ripen at any time between the end of August until the end of October. It depends on the variety and the type of climate that is growing them.

To find out if your grapes are ready for harvest or not, try them out. If they have a sweet and pleasant taste, coséchalas. If not, then leave them for a few more days. Once the grapes begin to change their color it usually takes between 1 to 3 weeks to be properly ripe (how much time depends on the variety and how good the climate.) For example, green grapes usually become slightly translucent and their skins turn yellow once they are ripe.Ripped grapes also feel soft to the touch.Access time is all that matters.If you like the taste, then coséchalas.

Very nice job! I just propagated my first grape vines this year. It is very rewarding! May God be with you and use your work as a display of His glory and a means to bless others around you!
